4. What is Industry 4.0?
The Fourth Industrial Revolution, or better known as
Industry 4.0, was announced in 2015 by the German
engineer and economist Klaus Schwab. The Fourth
Industrial Revolution was the topic of the NGO World
Economic Forum Annual Meeting in Davos-Klosters,
Switzerland.

6. What is a Smart Factory?
“a manufacturing solution that provides such flexible and adaptive
production processes that will solve problems arising on a production
facility with dynamic and rapidly changing boundary conditions in a world
of increasing complexity. This special solution could, on one hand, be
related to automation, understood as a combination of software, hardware
and/or mechanics, which should lead to optimization of manufacturing
resulting in reduction of unnecessary labor and waste of resource. On the
other hand, it could be seen in a perspective of collaboration between
different industrial and nonindustrial partners, where the smartness comes
from forming a dynamic organization”

8. What is a Foundry 4.0?
“I would define Foundry 4.0 as anything to do with new
emergent technologies, processes, procedures, and systems,
that have a socio-economic impact on how foundries are
currently operated,” affirms Hideki Gebken, engineering
manager for Standard Manufacturers Services Limited
(Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada).
